\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSaylor hinted about the purchase in a Sunday tweet.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
The world\u2019s largest corporate holder of bitcoin just announced its latest such purchase, which was executed before the Thursday and Saturday market crashes, at an average price of almost $88,000.<\/p>\n
The company spent $75.3 million to acquire 855 BTC, with its total stash increasing to 713,502 units.<\/p>\n
\nStrategy has acquired 855 BTC for ~$75.3 million at ~$87,974 per bitcoin. As of 2\/1\/2026, we hodl 713,502 $BTC<\/a> acquired for ~$54.26 billion at ~$76,052 per bitcoin. $MSTR<\/a> $STRC<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/tYTGMwPPUF<\/a><\/p>\n

The post above shows that the firm\u2019s holdings were bought for approximately $54.26 billion, at an average price of $76,052 per BTC. Given the cryptocurrency\u2019s current price tag of under $78,000, this means that the company\u2019s paper gains have shrunk to under $3 billion.<\/p>\n
Recall that the number stood at nearly $8 billion just last week when bitcoin was closer to $90,000. However, the asset slumped hard twice in the past week \u2013 on Thursday and Saturday.<\/p>\n
The first one dropped<\/a> it to $81,000, before the bears took complete control of the market and pushed<\/a> it south to $74,400 earlier today. This meant that Strategy\u2019s holdings were briefly in the red for the first time since October 2023.<\/p>\n
Strategy\u2019s own stock has not been spared from the overall market calamity, as it\u2019s down by over 6% in the past five days.<\/p>\n
